The year 2019 is starting out with great opportunities to work for justice for our immigrant neighbors and low-income families.

$2.5 Million for Defense of

Immigrant Families Facing Deportation

WIN has been meeting with non-profit service providers to unify our efforts around the budget cycle to push for 2.5 million dollars for low cost, non-profit, long term legal defense that includes detainees. WINâs immigration team has decided to make sure we have a strong presence at the upcoming Mayorâs Budget Engagement forums (February 21, 22, 25th) to make sure it is on the mayorâs radar as she creates her budget. WIN is asking that we show our support and sign up for at least one. WIN is aiming for at least 50 for the first two and 100 for the last one which is in Ward 4. The Advocacy Ministry and WIN needs your turnout. Can you help? Sign up for one or more session here
